This blog is named after my dog, Dino the wonder dog. Other than that, this blog doesn’t have a lot to do with him, except that some days, when I am just too busy or too tired or have a migraine, I let Dino write my blog for me. On days when he has not taken over the computer, I write about my life – the past, the present and the future - my travels far and near and my home. I would love it if you would follow along.

and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 (New International
Version)

A
year ago this week, I got to meet this beautiful little girl. In remembrance of
my visit, we planted this tree, which in just three or four years will be large
enough to produce fruit. In the last letter I received from my girl, she shared
with me that the tree was still alive and growing. Only a few more years and
the little tree will be fruitful.

In my
impatience, I wish the tree could have started being productive right away.
Supply this poor family with that little bit of fruit in their diets. Why wait
so many years?

So
many years? Three or four? That is not really a lifetime. In God’s time, that
isn’t even a millisecond. In God’s time all things will bear fruit.

In
God’s time, the dream job will materialize. In God’s time, the lonely family of
two will become a family of three. In God’s time, sickness and sadness will be
eradicated.

And in our time, we need to keep the faith and trust in God alone.

Lord, God, Heavenly Father, thank you
for your perfect timing, for knowing when to answer our prayers and how to
answer our prayers in the way that is best for all. Amen.

If
the time is right in your life, please consider sponsoring a boy or girl through Compassion International and change the life of a child like my Mueni.

How Did I Get Here?

I have always wanted to be a writer, but in 1986, I fell into the medical field and have yet to crawl out. After a lot of reflection, I realize that maybe health care is my calling, but what is my passion? Writing. I also have a passion for my Savior Jesus. What else do you need to know? I have a wonderful husband, two grown children, four cats, and of course, Dino the wonder dog. In my spare time, I enjoy sewing on a cloudy day and laying in the sun on a sunny day.
